So far so good. My fish LOVE the metro flakes from peabody's and my fish are npw showing signs of stress from the paraguard treatments. The tetras with the bloated bellies are looking a bit better now to. I plan on continuing the same treatment till i am oit of food/chem, or my fish have...

I reached out to SeaChem and found that I was indeed wrong. This does not contain it. It contains no antibiotics, but does to its job fairly well. My metro food will help once I get it on Monday

i tried finding the ingredients but could not. I found my info from amazon answers for it. I know it could be wrong, but they generally have not been. I plan on reaching out to seachem on it since I could not find anything conclusive.

i too would be interested in what you find out. All of my pre-planted research for the 2 weeks i spend recommended this. Also, after upgrading my light, i found my plants get "stressed" if I do not give them a break and seem to grow better being split like this.

indeed it does, Erythtomycin is the same as Maracyn one, which paraguard does have. I am going to be treating the entire tank with this to try and kill of anything that my be on the plants/hardscape/substrate. I also ordered some metro flakes from Peabody's I figured that treating the internal...

What fresh said. This is why. it is very common with planted tanks. Also it is nap time in my house and the lights are just too bright to sleep for those at home still (wife who starts her day at 2am, and 2 little girls)

I have gone ahead and purchased ParaGuard and it should be here in a couple of days. I only have chain stores in my area and not able to goto my favorite store since I work all week. I went with ParaGuard since it contains Maracyn one which is erythromycin. I am also a fan of SeaChem products...

my nitrate's are generally less than 5 and no more than 10. so no need to get them lower, today they would be at my guess without a high resolution test would be 3. As for using a general cure medication for my tank, this does seem reasonable. as such, I am feeding fresh crushed garlic with my...

1. dead guppy happened after fighting with mollie the day before, had no tail issues 2. 2nd dead guppy. happened day after adding mollie to tank, but can clearly see his tail turning black 3. last dead guppy, can see his head turned translucent 4. red spot on female ram, she died a day or 2...

some pics, a couple more to come 1. general tank layout. has change a bit due to plant growth 2. neon tetra passing a poo, long, lumpy, and white 3. neon tetra with gill issues 4. bloated neon tetra (same as in pic #2)

I have something wrong with my fish. I am not quite sure what. There seems to be multiple symptoms. My tank is a 36bf moderately planted was dosing daily 3ml excel until current issues. was just after morning feeding dosing weekly 3ml flourish using prime for my water changes moderate lighting...

id like some. pm me the details!

i have 1 and i hate it! the wife made me get 2 of them and when the 1 died 6 months ago, i was extremely happy! They really seem aggressive as well. I just moved mine from my daughters tank to my tank since her tank is now my guppy tank and i do not want him to cross breed. He is stressed out...

I am going to have to check with some of my local stores on this. I really would like to find out where they are getting them form. You made me curious.

What's wrong with getting them from a chain or LFS? Not everywhere has a breeder for every fish and a lot of time you only have a petsmart/petco in your area for xx fish. I know that my petco and petsmart in my area take very good care of their fish stock. I continually see them cleaning and...

Wow, lots of GBR's. Here is mine now, lol

In Utah, i am able to do pretty well with my blue rams. From what I know, Bolivian rams are much hardier than the blue rams. I am no expert but I have seen a spawn once (i have other posts on my issues) with a pH of 8. I know they are a fairly temperamental fish, but if you can get them...

as for a new LED light bar, Finnex has a decent affordable line. You can get them off of amazon

I was able to get a new female last night. She was not QT'ed for a few reasons. But my male has stopped pacing, and has all of his color. He is also doing what appears to be mating dances with her. which is kind of funny since he is nearly double her size! And before yall get started about QT...

you sure did! if you do not want them and someone else does, then it is the right thing to simply give them away. I am glad you got rid of them, It took me over 2 weeks to find a home for my 2 comet goldfish.

Find someone that could use it as a feeder fish? There has to be someone who has a turtle Sent from a phone.

Brookster, thanks for the comment, basically what you have just said is exactly what I was thinking, and my wife said. I was really shocked that he mated with the female after only having her for just over 2 weeks

PetSmart actually. They are the only ones that sell them in my area. I was hoping to be a "breeder" of some sort with these guys but loosing the female, i just do not really see it happening now, though it could

thanks for your comment, I do agree the pH is a bit high, but it has been this way since day 1. my local water supply has a 7.6 and it goes up to 8.2 after a couple days. Though I am measuring with a liquid kit so interpretation is difficult as we are all aware. As for the female, she died from...

I'd like to add my parameters Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 5-10 pH: 8 (best i can do without chemicals till my wife lets me get some co2) Temp: 76 Sent from a phone.
